- the inventors have taken on the task, starting from a rotary switch to provide an operating option, providing improved functionality compared to a pure rotary switch becomes.
- the knob is slidably mounted in at least one, substantially perpendicular to the rotational axis direction relative to the control element body, wherein at least one additional switching function is provided.
- the invention relates to a rotary control element with a control element body for receiving the associated switching elements, such as optical encoders. Furthermore, a knob is provided.
- the rotary knob according to the invention is not limited in terms of its design. It includes, for example, a cylindrical ring and a cylindrical ring towards the operator final plate-shaped cap. The ring is chromed, for example, for haptic and / or optical reasons.
- a backlit icon and an associated light guide can be arranged.
- the knob is according to the invention rotatably mounted at least about an axis of rotation, wherein the control element body and knob cooperate so that by rotation of the knob a first associated control and / or switching function is provided.
- a measure of the rotational adjustment corresponding, possibly proportional, output signal can be generated as a control function.
- a pure switching function is provided, which is effected by a reciprocation of the rotary knob switching between a off and on position of a mechanically connected to the knob switching element.
- a switching function can be provided by movement of the rotary knob in a direction parallel to the axis of rotation.
- the rotary knob according to the invention is characterized in that it faces in at least one direction substantially perpendicular to the axis of rotation the control element body is slidably mounted, and thus its axis of rotation is displaced parallel.
- an additional control and / or switching function is provided according to the invention.
- an output signal corresponding to the amount of shift can be generated as a control quantity.
- the displacement causes a switching between an off and on position of a switching element mechanically connected to the rotary knob.
- the displacement of the knob is achieved by a sliding bearing of the knob relative to the control element body.
- the rotary knob is displaceably mounted in two directions substantially perpendicular to the axis of rotation relative to the control element body, whereby a joystick functionality is provided.
- a joystick functionality is provided.
- such a four-way displacement of the knob is provided.
- the rotary knob is freely displaceable in a plane perpendicular to the axis of rotation.
- Joystick functionality in the sense of the invention means that a switching function is provided depending on the direction of movement.
- a switching signal or a proportional to the actuation path les signal can be generated.
- a displacement in two perpendicular directions can be used to control electrical components of a vehicle, for example for navigation in a display.
- the control element according to the invention is suitable as a mouse replacement, ie as input means to move a cursor on a display device.
- a universal joint is provided to transmit the displacement of the rotary knob to associated switching or control elements which are arranged in the control element body.
- knob is mounted by means of roller bearings, that is mounted on axles rollers, slidably relative to the control element body. This makes it particularly easy to free displacement of the knob especially for two possible directions of displacement (four-way switch) allowed.
- knob is mounted displaceably by means of ball bearings.
- ball bearings As a result, a frictionless and low-wear bearing is achieved, which also allows a simple free displacement of the knob relative to the control element body.
- the bearing for displacing the rotary knob below the knob, preferably within a predetermined by the knob cavity is arranged.
- the rest position is one with respect to the maximum displaceability in the respective displacement direction central position, advantageously lies the center of the knob in the central axis and / or axis of rotation of the control.
- the rotary knob is provided with a substantially disc-shaped inner part, which is slidably received in a cage.
- Disc-shaped in the context of the invention is to be interpreted broadly, for example, the inner part may be star-shaped or merely have a flat ring shape.
- the central inner part may be broken and / or serve for the storage of the universal joint.
- the substantially disc-shaped inner part is in each case displaceably mounted relative to the surfaces of the cage adjacent to the axis of rotation axis by means of at least three, preferably evenly spaced, balls or ball pairs.
- the substantially disc-shaped inner part and / or cage are made of a zinc-aluminum-magnesium-copper (ZAMAK) alloy.
- the inner part and / or the cage are made by zinc die casting.
- the rotary control element according to the invention is advantageously used in a motor vehicle or in a domestic appliance ("white goods").) Since the operator is usually used to operating by means of a rotary switch, there is no need to adapt despite additional functionality by the rotary switch according to the invention the user comfort is enhanced since the control element according to the invention has a functionality that is increased compared to a conventional rotary switch, which makes it unnecessary to encompass another operating element.
- Figure 1 is a schematic exploded view of the rotary head 1
- Figure 2 is a detail view of some composite components of Figure 1;
- FIG. 3 shows a perspective detailed view of some of the components shown in FIG.
- Fig. 1 shows a part of the knob 1 of the control element according to the invention.
- the operator is facing a plate-shaped cover 2, which adjoins a substantially cylindrical, chromed ring 6 as a grip region of the rotary knob 1 to the operator side.
- the cavity defined thereby serves to receive a light-guiding element 6 for the backlighting of a translucent symbol or design element arranged in the cover 2.
- the backlight is performed by a light source, not shown, which is in the region of the control element body, not shown, which is located on the side facing away from the operator of the knob 1 (left in Figure 1).
- the cavity of the knob 1 serves to accommodate the storage for the displacement of the knob 1 in a plane perpendicular to his, lying approximately in the plane of the paper of Figure 1 axis of rotation. Due to the integration in the predetermined by the knob 1 cavity falls, despite this additional mobility no additional height.
- the mobility is achieved by a substantially disc-shaped inner part 3, which is displaceable in any direction in a cage formed from the guide plate 4a and the guide plate 4b.
- the displacement movement of the rotary knob 1 is transmitted by means of a universal joint 5 to the arranged in the control element body switching or control elements.
- known from the prior art technologies are used,
- the arrangement of the components 3, 4a, 4b and 5 of the rotary knob 1 are shown in Figure 2 in the assembled state.
- the guide plate 4a and the guide plate 4b are latched together by means of snap hooks. Its substantially wear-and friction-free displacement is achieved by three pairs of balls 8, which are shown in detail in Figure 3 and each offset by 120 ° about the axis of rotation.
- the inner part 3 also serves to support the universal joint 5, with the aid of which the displacement is mechanically converted into an electrical switching or regulating function. Further detent lugs of the guide plate 4b are used for locking with locking lugs, which are provided on the chromed ring 7.
- the knob 1 is rotatable about its central axis 9 and by means of the interlocked guide parts 4a, 4b in any direction.
- the displacement takes place here in a direction perpendicular to the central axis 9 level, which is substantially in a plane with the cover 2, so that there is a substantially horizontal displaceability for the operator in a secondment of the operating element in a center console of a motor vehicle.
